Chi Zheng didn't directly answer the boy's "comment", but looked at the girl, "Why do you think that wasting grain and rice is nothing?"

The girl was not afraid of strangers, but said loudly and confidently: "Because I think that my father bought it, and he neither stole nor robbed, and even my father didn't think that I wasted it, so why should other people say that I am a waste? Moreover, peasants grow grain to survive, and they need money to live, and my father buys their grain and gives money, so they are not in vain, so what does it matter to me to grow grain hard? Why should I restrain myself because they are hard?"

This little girl is not simple.

Chi Zheng was very surprised, it's not that the girl's "truth" really makes sense, but at this age, she has never gone to private school, but she still has such words that conform to her own logic, which is absolutely rare. Considering that this girl is still in such a closed environment in ancient times, it is even more rare.

"There is some truth in what you say, but I don't think that's what Mr. meant. ”

Chi Zheng asked, "When you see a homeless person, will you pity him, will you give him something to eat?"

The girl frowned, "I won't give him alms, because if you give alms to one person, you will attract a lot of beggars." ”

If every child is so uncooperative, how can the teacher carry out the teaching work?

Chi Zheng paused, and then asked, "Okay, do you think there is a number or countless grains in the world?"

"Needless to say, how can there be countless grains in the world?"

The girl rolled her eyes.

"Then do you think there is enough food for everyone in the world?"

"This ...... Definitely not enough. ”

The girl thought for a moment and replied.

"So, if there is already a lot of food, in the event of a natural disaster, it will not be enough for everyone in the world to eat," Chi Zheng smiled, "Then, the price of less and less food will inevitably rise, if even your father can't afford it, what should I do?"

"Do you mean that if I don't waste grain, there will be more grain?"

The girl was skeptical.

"No, you are alone, no matter how wasteful you are, no matter how you save, it will have no impact on the world, but if everyone in the world learns it, then countless people may starve to death because of it. ”

In fact, this sentence is only true in modern times, because the vast majority of people can afford to buy food, and they can waste food, and in ancient times, only a very small number of princes and nobles could waste food, even landlords.

But if it is a matter of attitude to a child, it is to control the heart, it is too complicated, it is better to explain it like this.

"I don't think everybody in the world will learn from me. ”

The girl was still not persuaded by Chi Zheng, and said with a small frown.

"Okay, let me ask you again, since you think that even your father didn't talk about you, then do you think, why didn't your father talk about you?"

"Because that's my daddy. ”

"Because it's your father, you won't talk about you, if Xiao Er wastes it, will your father talk about him?"

"He dare!" the girl raised an eyebrow.

"So, the reason why your father doesn't talk about you is because you are his daughter, and he dotes on you, not because he thinks you are right to waste grain, right?"

This left the girl speechless, and she had to admit it after thinking about it.

"Do you like your daddy?"

"Of course. The girl didn't think to answer.

Chi Zheng smiled slightly: "Your father thinks that it is wrong for you to waste grain and rice, but because he loves you, he has never taught you a lesson, but you are doing wrong things with this favor unscrupulously, you say that you love your father, I also think you should be a filial daughter, so why does a filial daughter respond to her father's favor in the form of hurting her father? Do you think this is right or wrong?"

The girl froze, and the boy next to her was thoughtful.

After a while, the girl stood up, followed the boy's example, and made a nondescript gesture: "Guest, I know that I am wrong, and I will not waste any more grain and rice in the future." ”

It is estimated that because Chi Zheng is here, the girl and boy cleaned up and went back to the inner hall.

Chi Zheng turned his head, and sure enough, the shopkeeper stood at the other door for a while, and then watched his two children leave, and then came over and bowed to Chi Zheng: "Guest officer, there is no way to teach your son, so that the guest officer laughs." ”

"It's okay, shopkeeper, I've been hungry all day, what do you have to eat here?"

Speaking of this, the shopkeeper smiled and said, "Does the guest officer want to eat all the dishes, or do you want to eat some food?"

"What's in the dishes?"

"Two vegetarians, one meat and one pot of wine are for the general dish. ”

"Then let's have a dish. ”

Chi Zheng couldn't eat too much, he really ate too well on the boat these days.

"Okay, wait, officer. ”

This is not a polite word, it really only took a while, two vegetables, a meat and a pot of wine were served, Chi Zheng knew at a glance that this dish must have been prepared for a long time, and it can be served at any time when the guests need it.

As for the taste, it can only be said that it is not delicious, and it certainly cannot be compared with the modern roadside stalls with a large amount of chicken essence and monosodium glutamate.

In Chi Zheng's view, if you want to be delicious in ancient times, you must pay attention to a fresh word, and only this fresh word may be better than modern dishes with a large number of condiments.

And I don't know how long I put it on the dishes, and it has nothing to do with the fresh words, Chi Zheng, who ate a few bites, immediately regretted it, tasted the pot of wine, and almost didn't spit it out.

"My mouth is also spoiled. ”

I just said that children can't waste food, but I didn't expect to be slapped in the face in a blink of an eye, if this store is at this level of cooking, Chi Zheng feels that he will also waste food.

He ate for a while with a sad face, and was about to simply put down his chopsticks and order food, when he suddenly heard footsteps outside the door, and a large number of people poured in.

Originally, it was about to be dark, and such a large number of people came in and blocked the door, which made the hall even darker.

The shopkeeper looked at the account book behind the stage, calculating the income, with a bitter face, and looked up to see that such a large number of people took off their hats, and they were taken aback: "Song, Song catchers, you, why are you here?"

The person who came was holding a waist knife, his face was cold, about thirty years old, some of the trappers behind him were holding knives, some were holding whistle sticks, without exception, they were all staring at the only guest sitting in the hall, Chi Zheng.

"Shopkeeper, who is this person?"

Song Zhutou stared at Chi Zheng tightly, and asked with his head tilted.

"This、He's a guest who just checked in。 The shopkeeper said nervously.

"It's very raw, it seems to be a foreigner, what about the shop? ”

Song Zhutou asked about the store book, and immediately made the shopkeeper's face pale.

"I ask you what about the shop?"

Song Zhutou turned his head sharply and scolded angrily.
